Travis Miller, M.S.

Travis graduated with his Master's degree in Recreation Studies yesterday, December 16th, 2011.  Nita, Ole, Mindi, Halli, Hartli, and Haylen joined Ryah and I in celebrating.  Travis picked Joes Crab Shack for dinner -- he had a nice margarita and huge crab legs to formally celebrate his success!

I am so proud of Travis.  He worked full time to support our family and was responsible for Ryah's care many nights throughtout the program.  Many nights he stayed up until one or two in the morning reading and writing.  I loved hearing him talk about his projects and interest areas.  He is so passionate about community development and wellness through recreation and leisure . . . the field suits his personality and talents perfectly.  Travis' ideas are creative, relevant, and fun!  For one of his final projects he created a community garden program.  I truly hope he gets to implement the program in actuality in a future job.  I will have to update our blog with pictures of his own indoor garden.  I am thankful he has found a career area that is both meaningful and enjoyable for him to pursue. 

What is next for Travis?  He is applying for recreation programming/coordinating jobs around the Metroplex.  We plan to stay at North Texas until the right job comes along.  It could be a couple months or a couple years.  I am not in too big of a hurry since I still have two or more years until I graduate . . . its nice living so close to where I work and take classes.
